Yonex Voltric Z-Force II badminton racket is part of the Yonex Voltric series. The Voltric Z-Force II in tests overpowers the Voltric Z-Force; providing high initial and end shuttle speeds on smashes it keeps the shuttle folded longer during flight.

Traditionally, extra weight at the top of the racquet frame helps to increase hitting power but reduces racquet handling speed. In contrast, a lighter top to the frame increases speed but causes a loss of hitting power. For the first time, the new TRI-VOLTAGE SYSTEM successfully combines the contrasting characteristics of exceptional power and great handling. Yonex has developed a racket which achieves a combination of heavy smashes and speedy racquet handling.

Nanopreme - NANOPREME is an original technology developed by YONEX to provide an ideal racquet material. Carbon Nanotube (with unique characteristics produced by Nanoscience) is combined with epoxy resin to tightly bind carbon fibres. Together, they form an incredibly strong material construction. NANOPREME delivers high repulsion and high strength to expand the performance capability of the racquet.

Head Heavy Balance - Head-heavy balance is vital to place maximum power on a smash. The VOLTRIC Z-FORCE grips the shuttle on the string bed and transfers power more efficiently so that the shuttle retains power and weight deep into the opponent’s court.

Speed and Power - VOLTRIC Z-FORCE increases power even further through the larger frame cross-section and improved stiffness. Six metres from the initial impact, the shuttle was still travelling over 25km/h faster than a shot played with a conventional racquet. A smash shot with this power and weight is hard for an opponent to counter.

Compact Frame - In combination with our most efficient head-heavy balance, the VOLTRIC Z-FORCE frame has been made smaller to deliver the faster swing speed demanded by advanced players. By reducing the drag caused by air resistance, the head-heavy feeling is reduced and racquet handling speed is increased.

Strong shaft for explosive power - A thinner shaft for greater flexibility is traditionally less stable, but a stiffer shaft with high stability can become fragile. The VOLTRIC Z-FORCE shaft with NANOPREME combines flexibility and stability for ultimate performance. The thinnest shaft in YONEX history, it still delivers exceptional flexibility and amplifies the energy of the swing

To amplify the sweet spot the Z-Force II uses a new grommet system that uses grommet strips on the upper to extend the strings and guide them smoothly to the next string. This helps pre-load nearby strings for a more reactive string bed

Traditionally, extra weight at the top of the racquet frame has increased hitting power but reduced the speed of racquet handling. In contrast, a lighter top to the frame increases speed but causes a loss of hitting power.

For the first time, the new TRI-VOLTAGE SYSTEM successfully combines the contrasting characteristics of exceptional power and great handling. YONEX has developed a racquet which achieves the combination of heavy smashes and speedy racquet handling.

NANOMETRIC* improves the bonding strength between the carbon fibres enabling us to take racquet shaft construction to another level. By reducing the amount of carbon in the shaft to make it 60%* thinner than a conventional racquet whilst retaining stiffness, YONEX has created a revolutionary lightweight racquet with lightening head speed and control.

*NANOMETRIC is the new material which applies the NANOALLOYTM Technology of Toray Industries, Inc.

Another innovative YONEX technology, Sound Filter uses new materials at the two and ten o’clock positions to reduce only high pitched and dull soundwaves. This produces a louder and sharper sound on impact to unsettle opponents, and provides a more aggressive tone to your game for a relentlessly attacking style of play. Sound Filter also reduces uncomfortable sensation from the racquet by rapidly eliminating 31% of vibrations.

The ISOMETRIC™ equalizes the length of the main and cross strings in the string-bed, enlarging the sweet spot for more consistent accuracy even on off-centre hits.

The smaller frame size further reduces unwanted air resistance and improves feel.

Combines solid hitting feel and quick swing.

"Great Racket"

I had mine strung with BG66 Force and I've had to lower the power I put into my clears and drives because the racket is so effective at transferring energy from me to the shuttle. My smashes have naturally been harder hitting and less frequently returned. This is now my favourite racket!

Pros:

Very powerful

Good weight

Cons:

Hard to control at the net

"Great power without loss of feel or speed"

After using headlight rackets for the last 10 years, i found myself in need of a little extra power in my shots playing in the local leagues. I purchased this racket on here a few days ago which came strung in yonex BG80 power (21 lbs) as requested and i added a thin yonex overgrip as the original is a little thin for my personal preference.
upon first use i found:
*** Great solid clears
*** Nice powerful flat drives
*** Very satisfying smashes
*** Controlled net play, defense and shot repulsion
*** consistent and controlled drop shots
This racket has exceeded my expectations for a head heavy balance with good head speed for defense too.

Pros:

Good power in all shots, even if hit off centre.

No loss of feel during net play.

Good defensive speed for a head heavy racket.

Cons:

Racket for high budget players.
